Someone me ! im going to really appreciate it which details are evidence that supports the author's claim? check all that apply. author's claim: the success of the information age depends on the ability to protect information as it flows around the world, and this relies on the power of cryptography. a) "we are now entering the information age." b) "today [encryption] also has a role to play in facilitating business." c) "we have access to extraordinary strong encryption." d) "government could inherit a technology infrastructure that's optimized for surveillance." e) "the e-mail could have been written by a criminal attempting to divert the money."

The answer is option B and D.

Explanation:

Cryptography is the study and practice of securing communication to prevent third parties to access private messages or information. This is especially relevant on the internet and the Information Age that has came with it.

According to the author's claim, the power of cryptography and the ability to protect information with it nowadays, would guarantee the success of the Information Age. The main details that support this claim are B and D.

First, we have the role encryption has to play in such areas like business, as said in option B, and how it could facilitate the whole process, which demands more strict security protocols regarding the information flow in between. Then there are the resources available to improve said protocols and reinforce the security as well, which is possible if the government develop a decent technology infrastructure that can be optimized for surveillance, as said in option D. This can also lead to a better experience to keep improving the infrastructure for safe encryption.

Both details support the main point of the claim: how cryptography is closely related to the success or failure of the Age of Information as it is known by how the information flows and how can this affect the privacy and security of third-parties in a good or bad way.

i think that it is letter d.
